Ben Fry

Co-Founder

Ben’s great passion is helping organisations change the way they think about and use technology. He has spent over 20 years driving improvements across operations and appdev, helping breakdown silos, remove bottlenecks, eliminate duplication, improving efficiency, optimising costs, and delivering even the most complex IT change initiatives faster, cheaper and better.

Ben is a pragmatist, not a purist. He believes in tailoring agile methods and test driven techniques to the specifics of each organisation. He believes in appropriate use of automation and orchestration to underpin continuous integration and automated deployment.

Ben’s deep understanding of complex organisational dynamics relating to change and his unique style has helped successfully lead the people and process transformation to service based utility cloud computing across operations and appdev within many mid-market and global enterprises.
